SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 600,632, dated March 15, 1898.

A li ation fil d November 8 1895. Serial No. 568,341. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY BREITENSTEIN, of Laramie, in the county of Albany and State of Wyoming, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in bottles, and especially in that class of bottles known as non-refilling; and the invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side View, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section,of a bottle constructed according to my invention.

In general form the bottle may be of any suitable design and is provided with a dis charge-neck A. This discharge-neck is normally closed or stopped by an integral cap or upper end B, immediately below which the neck has a weakened portion 0, permitting the cap to be readily broken off when it is desired to discharge the contents of the bottle. The neck below this weakened portion is provided with a cork-seat D for the cork or stopper E, which cork or stopper is inserted from the inner end of the bottle-neck. Now, so far as I am informed, I am the first to provide a bottle with a weakened cap at its outer end and to guard the neck below such weakened portion with a stopper which is introduced from the inner end of the said neck. The purpose of this stopper E is to prevent fragments of the glass when the cap is broken 0E from entering the bottle, and such stopper E further operates to .close the inner end of the filling-tube presently described.

In carrying out my invention I provide means whereby to direct the stopper E into the inner end of the bottle-neck, such means including an opening through which the cork may be inserted and preferably a tube which guides such cork accurately to its seat at D.

In the construction shown the opening F is formed through the bottom of the bottle and is surrounded by a filling-tube G, extending within the bottle in alinement with the discharge-neck and terminating at its inner end adjacent to that of the discharge-neck, so the stopper E can be directed accurately into the neck and may also be adjusted, as shown lhe bottom cork H prevents wasting of the I contents of the bottle after the top is broken and the corkE is removed.

To fill the bottle, it should be placed right side up and filled with a tube from below through the filling-tube. After it is filled it will be found impracticable to empty below the lineof the filling-tube.

While the filling-tube may preferably be of the same size as the neck, it may be made a little larger, if desired, to avoid any danger of breaking when inserting the cork E. For some purposes the cork E may be omitted and the cork I-I used alone; but ordinarily it is preferred to use both such corks, as shown in Fig. 2. I

Having thus described my invention.,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A bottle having a closed neck and a tube opening out of its bottom and extended with its inner end adjacent to that of the neck substantially as set forth.

2. A bottle having a discharge-neck, and a filling-tube arranged at its inner end adjacent to that of the neck whereby a stopper may be adjusted to simultaneously close both the tube and neck'substantially as set forth.

3. A bottle having a discharge-neck and a separate filling-tube the inner ends of which are arranged in proximity whereby one stopper may be adjusted to close both the filling tube and neck substantially as set forth.

4. A bottle having a neck provided with a closed top, and a weakened portion below the same, and a filling-tube opening out of the bottom of the bottle and extending at its inner end adjacent to that of the neck and adapted to permit the insertion of a cork to the neck from the inner end thereof such neck being formed to permit the withdrawal'of such cork-seat and closed above said cork-seat and 10 cork when the top is removed substantially provided in its bottom with a tube prolonged as and for the purposes set forth. Within the bottle whereby it may serve as a 5. The combination of the discharge-neck, guide in inserting the cork to the bottle-neck, the tube arranged at its inner end adjacent substantially as shown and described.

to that of the neck and the stopper closing HENRY BREITENSTEIN. both the tube and neck, substantiallyas Witnesses: shown and described. CHARLES I. GREENBAUM,
